Depending upon what you desire in a spiritual read you could discover it in this book. If you want something brief and quick this will meet your need. If you desire something more in depth just give yourself to the readings and reflections to see where they lead. If you are looking for something on Mary that is not too theologically dense you can find it here. If you want to have a picture of Mary that is real and human this word portrait will enrich your imagination. If you want to plumb all the different connections a reflection on Mary can point toward you'll find multiple paths here. If you want a resource on Mary with unusual slants for all seasons then this will shine new light for you. For all of the above reasons, as well as for personal enrichment, this book is worth the time you spend with it...Father Alfred has reflected upon every aspect of life. The reader will know Mary differently, pondering and walking with her as she invites the reader to hole her son, Jesus, throughout his life. In knowing Mary differently, we can know ourselves anew, gaining self-knowledge as we pray with Holding Mary: Reflections on Mary the Mother of God .--Diane Jamison, O.S.F., The Cord
